The fact that Jims/Pats/Genos is ranked above Dalessandro's basically nullifies any validity that might have been perceived in this survey. Jim's is bad. Geno's is worse. Pat's is the worst. Probbaly 20-30th best steaks in Philly. Dallessandros/Tony Lukes/Steve's are solid top 5 picks, I chose Dalessandro's b/c I've been there most recently. And it was the bomb. the cheesteaks I make at home are better than Jims/Pats/Genos.
Everytime I am in Roxborough I stop at Dalessandro's and am never disapointed. Great rolls, steak, onions and cheese perfectly cooked - a true delight.
I travel for this steak. Whenever I mention taking a drive to Roxborough for one, I always have to take orders. Be ready to wait but it is worth it in the end.
hands down the best in the city--the perfect proportion of meat to cheese to fat. love it!!!!!!!
Dalessandro's steaks are the best around. The whole family loves their steak sandwiches. Even thoe the isle is small, I conciter take-out (not mouch room). Every time we go there, it's packed. I'd say, that's philly's way of saying that Dalessandro's is the best around.
The combinations on the cheesesteaks and the chicken cheesesteaks are wonderful. We love his sandwiches including the cheesesteaks. They are tasty and full of meat. Bread is great and the ingredients are so fresh. Love this place.
Best chicken cheesesteak in the city!!!! I have been going there all my life. Wonderful service & great quality food!
BY Gene Bauerle Sr. Haven't had their steak for sometime now, but enjoyed them once a week when working overtime at Fairmount Park Carbarn Mower Shop. A great steak. Thinking about going there Now!!!!!! mutter718@ aol.com
No one else even comes close. No gimics, no hype, Dalessandro's has the freashest, tastiest, best cheese steaks, hands down in Philly. Add in the amazing hot peppers served counterside and the vintage setting plus exemplary service...Man, I just wish every cheese steak I ever had was this good! Shapsjo
D'Alessandro's steak shop was always the best in Philly. I lived in the area in the in the 70's thru to the 90's then moved to Florida where I currently reside. I would visit the shop every Tuesday and now I drive to Philly once a month JUST to get a cheesesteak from there. I'm sorry to have heard of the very recent passing of Tom, co-owner. He will be greatly missed.
Consistently one of the great neighborhood places to enjoy a great cheesesteak for the last 40 years!
Grew up in that neighborhood in the sixties and now live 30 miles away but I still make the trip for a great and cheap steak sandwich
The bread is soft and flavorful, the meat is tender and easy to chew, and the combination is tasty and delightful.
Best steaks in town. I have been going there since I was a teenager. Nice family owned and operated business.
Grew up eating them and I prefer no one else above them! Best cheesesteak, hands down!
Dalessandro's has been a tradition in my family since I was a little kid. My parents went there when they where little, and they passed the directions on how to get there to me and my brother. We moved over to Jersey and still we go there at least twice a month, and get 2 each, one to eat in the car and one for lunch tomorrow. Even reheated they are delicious!!!! When ever there is a debt on cheese steaks, (which if you're from Philly, a very common conversation) Dalessandro's is always my answer; no if's, and's, or but's about it!
Hands down the best in the city or burbs! Perfect proportion of meat, cheese, bread and grease. YUMMY!!!
The bread is the best....that's what makes the cheese steak worth coming back for.....I have been going there for 35 years. I have tried all of the others, and nothing compares to Dalessandro's.
I've lived in Philly all my life. And I've had about every type of cheese steak you can think of. Deli's is by far the best around...
Fortunately Dalessandro's is a local establishment for me. Whenever someone from out of the neighborhood comes to visit, they always want a steak from "around the corner" - even my South Philly relatives.
Genuine. Consistent and their store doesn't look like a pin-ball machine with arrogant staffers. The BEST FRIED ONIONS!
